When Jo Henstock, a Nottingham vet, realised she was struggling with her mental health, she turned to her GP. Dr Martin changed Jo's "perspective on everything" and her life.
She recommended running to Jo, who confesses she was "rubbish at sport at school". But she tried, and started off with a 5k. Then she signed up for the Mablethorpe marathon and gave herself ten months to get in shape.
With that under her belt, and feeling much better, Jo completed her first marathon in 2019. And, impressively, has just done her "5 in 5" marathon challenge - five marathons in five consecutive days.
